therapy (RT) and concomitant temozolomid (TEM) followed by adjuvant TEM. TEM, oral alkylating agent, has shown promising activity in last ten years in the treatment of glioblastoma. Our aim was to examine the benefit of concomitant therapy involving radiotherapy and temozolomide in clinical practice. Material and Methods The study was retrospective / prospective and included the total of 113 patients with GBM diagnosis. Each patient was ECOG0 and ECOG1 performance status. Among that number, 47 patients received postoperative radiotherapy and 66 patients received concomitant temozolomide plus 3D conformal radiotherapy plus adjuvant temozolomid. Results The mean value of overall survival in patients who received only postoperative radiotherapy was 9.93 months, compared to statistically longer overall survival in the group of patients who received chemoradiotherapy (13.89 months) (p=0.006). Furthermore, chemoradiotherapy group has been divided into two subgroups, one consisted of patients who received complete 6 cycles of chemotherapy with temozolomide, and second who received uncompleted treatment (5 ≤ cycles). Statistically significant longer overall survival was registered in the first subgroup (16.17 months) as compared to the second (12.08 months) (p=0.006).

A Mann-Whitney U test revealed a difference in the median interval from surgery to SRS of patients with cavities with local control and local failure (6 vs 8 weeks, U = 344, z= 1.9, p= .052). A Fisher’s exact test for independence indicated an association approaching statistical significance between patients with cavities who received SRS less than or more than 7 weeks post operatively and local recurrence. Patients with a longer wait were more likely to experience Local recurrence (60%) than those who were treated within 7 weeks of surgery (40%), p = 0.051. Patients with a margin less than 2mm were more likely to experience local recurrence (67%) than those with margin = 2mm (33%), p = 0.059. We separately reviewed patients who received post operative WBRT pre SRS. None of these patients had local or distant failure (5 patients, 6 cavities). There was no statistically significant difference in OS for patients with or without WBRT pre SRS; 22.7 months vs 20.2. Conclusion Median OS (95% CI) for our patient group was 22.7 (14.5– 30.8) months (fig.1), with a local control rate of 69%. The only variables approaching statistical significance in terms of influencing LC were margin size (<2 vs. =2mm), interval from surgery to SRS (< 7/52 vs. >7/52) and presence or not of additional in-situ metastases. Regarding patients that received WBRT and SRS boost there was no difference in OS, compared to SRS alone.

Conclusion The benefit from the concomitant usage of temozolomide and radiotherapy was proved, and statistically significant difference among groups and subgroups were observed regarding overall survival.
